COUNTING ON YOU!
DEAR SIR/MA,
REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS ASSISTANCE
After due deliberation with my children, I
decided to contact you for your assistance in
standing as a beneficiary to the sum of US16.5M
Sixteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand United
States Dollars Only)
First, let me start by introducing myself as Mrs.
Angela.T.Didiza, a mother of three children and the
Minister for Public Works of the Republic of South Africa
since Government ((17 June 1999 - 22 May 2006).
To date under the auspices of the President of South Africa
MR THABO MBEKI. You can view my profile at my website:
www.info.gov.za/leaders/ministers/agricland.htm
THE PROPOSAL
After the swearing in ceremony making me the
Minister of Public Works in South African
Government ((17 June 1999 - 22 May 2006),my husband
Mr Thoko Didiza died while he was on an
official trip to Trinidad and Tobago in
1996.After his death,I discovered that he had
some funds in a dollar account which amounted to
the sum of US$16.5M with a South African bank
which had her offshore House in the Abroad(London)
This fund emanated as a result of an
over-invoiced contract which he executed with the
Government of South Africa.Though I assisted him
in getting this contract but I never knew that it
was over-invoiced by him. I am afraid that the
government of South Africa might start to
investigate on contracts awarded from 1990 to
date.If they discover this money in his bank
account, they will confiscate it and seize his
assets here in South Africa and this will
definitely affect my political career in
Government.
I want your assistance in transferring the fund into your bank account
first.Thereafter you are expected to move it immediately into another
personal or company bank account that will be opened through my Attorney
directly without any hitch as soon as the fund gets to your account.I will
see to it that the account is not traced from South Africa. As soon as you
have confirmed the fund into your account,I will send my eldest son with my
Attorney to come to your country to discuss on business investments.
SHARING PERCENTAGE
For your assistance,I am offering you 20% of the
principal sum. However, you have to assure me and
also be ready to go into agreement with me that
you will not elope with my fund.
If you agree to my terms,kindly as a matter of
urgency send me an email. Due to my sensitive
position in the South African Government,I would
not WANT you to call me on phone or send a fax to
me. All correspondence must be by above mail
address.
If you want to speak with my Attorney, that is
fine and okay by me. His chambers will be
representing my interest at the BANK. All
correspondence must be made either to my Attorney
Barrister Akin Moses of holborn chambers and
associates,or send me an email. I will also like
you to give me your contact address,telephone and
fax to enable my Attorney call or reach you from
time to time.
Please I do not need to remind you of the need
for absolute Confidentiality if this transaction
must succeed. YOU MUST NOT CALL ME! If you do not
feel comfortable with this transaction, do not
hesitate to discontinue.
Thanks for your anticipated co-operation and my
regards to your family.
Yours faithfully,
Mrs.Angela.T.Didiza.
Minister for Public Works.
